This isolationist mentality of ‘do not speak unless spoken to’ is one of the more repulsive aspects of modern society. It either implies that only certain people should be worthy of the privilege to initiate conversations, or that nobody should be able to outside of required interactions dictated by circumstances of business or socially mandated exchanges.

So she’s allowed to talk to me but I’m not? I mean I wouldn’t talk to them usually but if you are friendly why not?
What if hypothetical you happen to be a girl too?
